From Pumpkin Spice to Cannabis Terpenes: Why Autumn Flavours Are Taking Over Cannabis Culture

Autumn has its own distinct flavor. Whether it’s from fall-themed coffee drinks (pumpkin spice lattes), fall treats (warm pies or cakes) and hearty fall foods, the flavors that define the cooler seasons are typically bolder, sweeter and more comforting than those during other times of the year. Similarly, many cannabis users also tend to seek out richer scents and more complex flavor experiences during the fall, which is likely due to their desire to enjoy a warmer experience indoors when temperatures drop outside.

As such, this season is ideal for the cannabis enthusiast in the UK who wants to learn about how terpenes impact on the overall experience of various cannabis products including their flavors and aromas.

What Do Cannabis Terpenes Have to Do With Autumn Flavours?

Terpenes are organic aromatic chemical compounds that occur naturally in cannabis that make up a lot of the different smells and tastes of various strains. Terpenes can be found in most other plants, fruits and spices as well as being a key ingredient to many common fall flavors.

A main reason some people find certain strains taste better in the winter (or at least they fit into their current “season”) is because of the association between seasonal flavors and marijuana scents.

Many popular fall inspired pot styles have characteristics such as:

• Dessert flavor or sweet and creamy;
• Cherry berry type fruit flavors;
• Earthy/woody types;
• Spice/herbal types;
• Citrus with a deeper note.

Combinations like these add depth to the overall experience when compared to the typical lighter profiles found during summer.

Why Do Cannabis Lovers Prefer Richer Flavours in Autumn?

In colder months, many consumers will change how they feel and act when it comes to what type of product they want. For example, in the summer, most people tend to gravitate toward lighter flavors that are fresh, whereas in the fall, warm, comfort-based flavors seem to be the preference. Because of this shift, desserts-type cannabis strains (flavors) can typically see an increase in popularity. Many consumers like to pair certain fall activities with these types of cannabis products for relaxation and enjoyment. Some of those fall activities include:

• Watching movies;
• Listening to music;
• Cooking with seasonal ingredients;
• Sitting around relaxing on a cold evening;
• Spending quality time with friends.

Overall, cannabis has shifted from being more about enjoying nature outside in the summer to being about creating a cozy environment indoors.

The Rise of Seasonal Cannabis Experiences in the UK

Autumn is the perfect time to try some exciting new cannabis products. Cannabis has grown in popularity as an increasing number of users are focusing on both the flavour/aroma/terpenes & the overall quality of their cannabis products (not just how strong they are). Whether you prefer high-quality flowers/pre-rolls or have been curious about trying some new edibles with delicious flavours, autumn offers you a great opportunity to find a new favourite and discover different types of cannabis.

Finding Your Perfect Autumn Cannabis Profile

Just as with choosing an autumn favourite drink or dessert there is no one “right” way to choose the best flavoured cannabis for your needs. The most important factor when it comes to deciding on which strain of cannabis is best for you will be based upon what your individual preferences are. For example, some people tend to enjoy sweet and creamy flavors whereas other individuals may favour a different type of flavor such as earthy, spicy, or fruity.
